Yes, there is a hearing planned for next week! Which surprised both my lawyer and me.

Judges are very reasonable. They have to come with really strong arguments to throw away the HC case. It’s a very rude way of misusing public resources (court) when a HC case already gave twice a verdict.

That's not really technically true. The judge must give a new judgment instead of the original HC judgment. Of course in their judgment they will look at the HC judgment, but technically that judgment is no longer binding whatsover. See ECLI:NL:HR:2021:657

Technically true. In every higher court, previous judgements are no longer binding. Also from lower courts. In this case there is an independent party: HC. That gives a strong case.

Maybe I phrased it a bit poorly. Normally when you appeal a court ruling you ask the higher court to look at certain parts of a judgment. When you appeal a Huurcommissie judgment the court must always judge the case in it's entirety again.

You can check on your bank, they have some insurance packages :) I think around 10/20€ per month? But very much worth it in this case :) and check that when you get it is effective from the day you buy it, there is no "waiting period" (usually 3 months)

How does this work with regards to the 6 months that you have to protest against your rent price? Does the moment you contact the Huurcommissie count?
